ANDROID: Call method every five minutes

Question

How can i to run a method check() in every five minutes? I want to check every five minutes have we new data or not, if is new data, then show notification

methods:

private void startAlarm() {
    AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) this.getSystemService(this.ALARM_SERVICE);
    long when = System.currentTimeMillis();         // notification time
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
    alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, when, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_FIFTEEN_MINUTES), pendingIntent);
}

public boolean isOnline(){
      ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager)
        getSystemService(CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
      NetworkInfo netinfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
      if(netinfo ==null || !netinfo.isConnectedOrConnecting())
          return false;

      return true;
}

public void check(){
    if(isOnline())
    {
        //show notification if we have new data
    }
}

every 10 minutes app will check access to internet, if (access == true){ just test have we new data or not, if have - then show notification} — Suleiman, Apr 18 '14 at 16:39
AlarmManager are dangerous to the battery if not uses correctly... you want to check every 5 min only if he is using the app? — Marco Acierno, Apr 18 '14 at 16:41
I agree with @SevaAlekseyev, 5 or 10 min it will kill the battery. Anyway, if you want to try, I suggest to use a Timer to start a TimerTask that will invoke your method. This will work only when app is open. — Marino, Apr 18 '14 at 16:42
omg )) i don't know what to do. i want just to know site have new data or not — Suleiman, Apr 18 '14 at 16:48
Realistically, how often are you expecting new data for an average user? Every 5 minutes? Consider push notifications from the site. — Seva Alekseyev, Apr 18 '14 at 17:02
I am with @Seva Alekseyev on push notifications, check this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1378671/push-notifications-in-android-platform — zgc7009, Apr 18 '14 at 17:17
